AFAIK not worth the effort, concentration of active alkaloids in coca leaves is fairly low. You could try making a crude extract with alcohol and vape that and if you decide to try, tell me how it goes, I want to try this as well.

Where could you even find a coca plant? Definitely not here in the U.S. sadly. . I ave been on the search..it would be a great plant to have around so that you could pick the leaves and chew them when desired

Oh, it's around. I've been offered it at some stores (self-owned, "ethnic"), completely under the table shit... Definitely not something I'm interested in, because 1. it's pretty damn illegal, and 2. not a fan of stimulants.

I believe the natives where coca tends to grow generally chew the leaves and as a plant it has some health benefits. Some of the mountainous regions in SA are pretty high altitude and I was watching a show where people chew coca for altitude sickness. As someone said earlier the concentrations of alkaloids in the leaf is quite low so smoking them probably wouldn't be wise. Extractions are an option but this is illegal and illegal to have the active leaf.

If you like stimulants... Doesn't a nice iced tea or iced coffee sound better? I don't drink coffee or caffeinated tea cuz caffeine is a helluva drug lol. Green tea leaves are quite legal and have a size able amount of caffeine in them if that is your thing...

Didn't mean to sound like a prick above, but what you are thinking about is probably more trouble than it is worth and not too kosher with the law broseph.

for real, if you have some make some tea. it's so fucking delicious. best drink ever. sadly forbidden almost everywhere except in some south american countries

I like coca tea, it doesn't get you wired and jittery like coffee (i only drink decaf now) just warmth and a relieving of weariness. Native people drank it for thousands of years and it's very different from concentrated cocaine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca_tea

Please be careful,ingesting even a little coke,in any form,can sooo easily escalate into something ugly. I know,I've been there and am one of the lucky ones who made it out the other side. I'm NOT preaching abstinence,far from it. Try everything at least once,twice if ya like it!
Just understand coke has a way of getting into your head,taking all your money and ruining your life...I've seen it hundreds of times.
Ive had some great times with cola,but If I knew what I know now,I never would have tried it.
Again I'm not trying to preach,just be aware and learn from others mistakes.

I agree Cocaine is dangerous, as most hard drugs are. But I am not looking to do cocaine. I am looking for a Coca plant, so I can consume the leaves in a traditional method. I am normally not a fan of stimulants, with the exception being caffeine. I however would have no objections to chewing a few coca leaves to provide energy.

Although you can find Coca leaf on amazon, it is not the same and is processed to where there are no useable alkaloids available.

If you can keep it at that level you'll be fine. I couldn't and now look at me....
I'd actualy like to try chewing leaves too....is it illegal to grow coca here if you don't process it?

Coca in it's purest form has been part of medicinal treatments for a long time. Unfortunately, like many others I am on the receiving end of what cocaine may have done to me. I'm stage 4 with Parkinson's Disease and there are numerous studies trying to prove that there is correlation between habitual cocaine abuse and signal diseases like epilepsy and Parkinson's just to name two. Whether or not the processed shit is what put me in the "shaken" situation I'm currently in, I would still be interested in knowing the benefits of the plant itself.

I would imagine much of the problems with cocaine sold on the streets, is all the chemicals that are used to process it, as well as what gets cut into it before sale. All that diesel and whatnot in the middle of the jungle, can't be good for anyone.

Good point Tweek,I've seen coke cut with horrible shit,pretty much anything the same color and consistency.
In my mind it's kinda like crank,made in shit-hole conditions,using chemicals that by themselves are toxic as Hell and processd by people you wouldn't piss on if their hair was on fire. I knew all this,been present at the production and distribution end. I knew all the awful shit in it....then I did it anyway. Daily. For a decade straight. I have this personality flaw that says "If somes good,more would be better". If you're tough enough mentally to use in moderation you'll probably be ok.
As for me,hard drug use (mainly coke,crank and X) was the main cause of my Parkinson's and epilepsy. And that shits here for life.
Again,not preaching,try anything you want and see what you really like. If you can keep it casual do as much as you want. Moderation is key,and I don't have that gene. It's not hard,read up on whatever drug you like and see what effects it has on your body and mind. But never make the mistake of thinking "It'll never happen to me",because if you don't have a handle on it it will happen to you. Both mvapes and myself got fucked for life by overdoing it,so don't over do it!
Man I sound like a bummer and I don't mean to,I LOVE conscious altering substances and will till the day I die. I'm just more picky about what I put in my system now. Fuck! I went WAY off topic again,sorry about that. We're all adults here so do what feels good,just be informed. As for the kids reading this,DON'T FUCKING DO THIS SHIT! Your body is still growing so stick with steroids.
Remember freedom means you're free to have it all or to fail completely and everything in between.
Jesus that's a bummer of a post,wonder if I have any coke stashed,just to cheer me up once more...

You are in luck, bro...I do believe they are testing psilocybin's effects on Parkinsons

Really? Where do I sign up? I'll be a lab rat for that all day long. All in the name of science of course. Man that would be sooo badass if 'shrooms could help mvapes and I...so badass.
So back to the topic at hand,can I grow coca plants legally if I just chew and not process them?
^^^^^Warning,hypocrite alert^^^^^

There is still a hint of zing to it even though it's been largely decocainized. A little numbness to the mouth and a slight euphoric buzz. Took a tablespoon mixed into some juice. Not too bad for a legal alternative, though don't expect too much.

I like that they are able to reap some legit benefit down in South America from a God-given herb. Tired of all the demonization. It's all about portion control - but concentrates can make that extremely difficult! This stuff is pretty much just straight powdered leaf with some primary alkaloids removed, not concentrated (just the opposite).

Edit: Start with a teaspoon or less to see how it affects you. Also, just try tea first as eating it is of course stronger and lasts longer.
